BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.

Bitcoin update

On April 10, bitcoin made an attempt at reaching a new all-time high but was stopped by the $61,600 resistance area. This created a long upper wick. 

It made a similar attempt on April 12 but was stopped once again.

Today, BTC appears to be gearing up for yet another breakout attempt. 

The MACD has given a bullish reversal signal and the RSI and Stochastic oscillator are both increasing. 

Therefore, the price is expected to be successful in breaking out above this area and reach a new all-time high price.
